Most Americans believe that their own government destroyed the twin towers, killing thousands of their own people.

So Britian is the least of their worries... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

As if.

We just gotta turn up and the women throw themselves at us.

I can't deny the pillaging allegation though.

FUCK THE QUEEN FUCK THE PRINCE FUCK ENGLAND

I find it interesting that certain people (shall remain nameless) actually take this thread seriously :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Agreed, agreed, England isn't Britain twat features - go look at a map.

yeah but not many other armies wife out their own men in "machine malfunctions" .. wasn't it in iraq where they took out a fleet of their own helicopters

It'd never happen anyway cos bush would have to find a new bum friend once tony blair was gone

Its a proven fact that any invading force always goes for the weakest place to hit .. that'll be why in every movie ever made, whether its terrorists, aliens or even meteor hits and freak weather the USA always take it in the ass .. You are the weakest links. .. fact is you wouldnt invade the GB because you'd get f'cked over by the rest of Europe ... as for wiping us off the face of the planet .. BWAHAHAHAHAHA .. the favour would be returned .. no survivors .. GB has enough nukes to comit to global assault, so have the USA, so no winners.
2 devestated areas just ready for the 3rd world nations to walk in and populate

50................

Shocking and amusing at the same time

You find it interesting? More like fucking astonishing!:1orglaugh

I seriously do worry about some people on here

I'm so fucking moving if usa invades

People are just playing fanatsy wars again, noone takes the thread seriously. That said I can't believe people in GB even think they have a chance in hell against the American's. Wake up call, GB is NOT important anymore, I know you still like to think you are, but I am sorry to say your glory days are long gone, and all that lies ahead of you is a muslim cesspool of no real importance. Second point, once conquered I highly doubt they'd be a significant militia movement. This would go for most Western nations now days, we are so decadent and spoilt that, if another Western or European power took control of another nation, we'd submit faster than the French in WWII provided they didn't completely attempt to destroy the nation. Wake up.

That's some high talk for a resident of a former prison colony.

LOL yeah right

NO ONE could beat china

They just have too many people.

He speaks the truth, we are no longer an empire and its about fucking time we stopped acting like we are a superpower

A few mini nukes could solve that problem and you know America would use em again if they needed to

The Brits would win the war hands down...they've got the Death Star and Hogwarts, all under the command of the evil bastard from Die Hard...

Yippie ki-yay muthafucka.

at last ... someone knows what hes talking about

As far as i can see America only likes to invade warm places anyway

Splitters!

as great of a country that australia is, GB is a lot more important than australia ( i sounds like a kid saying that). it's the fifth biggest ecconomy in the world, a nuclear power, the worlds leading financial centre, a leading innovator in science, medicine and technology and i could go on further.

I dont believe an adult could have posted this. You are either to young to post here at an adults forum or to stupid. Stop posting before your mum unplugs the interwebs :2 cents:

No motherfucker ! NO NO NO !!!

I love that line in diehard, classic ! :1orglaugh

I agree with everything you have said but we still try to act like a superpower which we most certainly are not. At this very moment in time we are Americas bitch it would seem. Sad really :Oh crap

yeah but what is a super power? usa is one, maybe china, russia not so sure any more. uk isn't but does that mean they can't have a say on the world stage?

We may not be a superpower in blatant terms, but where we excel is being a subtle economic superpower with a fair bit of power at our disposal. Ever noticed the amount of vetoing rights that we still hold within the EU, which other countries gave up?

What's the point in nuking us? Sure we'd die - but you wouldn't be able to do fuck all with us thanks to the land being irradiated and generally fucked. Not to mention that you can't take over our economic facilities, money nor resources if you blow them the fuck up.

A superpower in the current world is a nasty word - basically stemming for bullying, "sanctions", stirring up shit the world over and generally getting in everyones face and business.

"Superpowers" can be classified as such, but have little substance underneath in any positive terms - eg economic or ability to trade internationally - they have little to offer. "Superpowers" can be freaks with mouths too big for their faces - when this is the case they usually resort to the usual meddling in an effort to be relevant - basically end up as the new bullies on the block.

China is an easy example of a "positive superpower", despite regional problems. They engage in international trading woldwide and appear to attempt to avoid conflict and engage in a positive exchange at an international level.

The UK is sure not a superpower in any sense, but again, despite bullshit (that's everywhere), is the largest financial center in the world and maintains a strong economic policy and currency valuation - together with relatively good relationships with most countries. The UK is basically solvent, which is more than could be said for some classified as superpowers.

that's an insult for GFY for having such dumb thread with so many replies .

Totally dumb thread title - and hardly worth a response based on the title. There are posts within the thread which have more sense than the usual troll crap from the worlds ignorant.

No.. it's not an "insult for GFY" - there is a LOT worse that illustrates the level of retardness - and not hard to find.

Of coarse they can have a say on the world stage, I just think that we British still have this mindset (or at least the government does) that we are still a global empire which we are not. IMO we just need to know where are place is, instead of getting too involved in Americas foreign policies which we tend to do.

We have the 5th largest economy in the world but we are no superpower (not anymore) our empire fell a long time ago

As I told you before, the guy who started this thread is an ignorant fool. He doesn't even realize that the UK is Americans biggest Allie and his thread and point was incredibly retarded

Webby whats your opinion on China ? Do you think they will be a more responsible superpower when they finally achieve the status ? Do you think they will have a less aggressive stance when it comes to foreign affairs and policies than America has had over its reign ?

Interesting claim.

I have a few questions for you:

Is Britain a democracy, or is it an inherently unstable and unjust dictatorship?

Does the British government sponsor or allow these terrorists to operate, or do they clamp down hard on them?

I'm still trying to get a full grasp of what it means to be a world superpower, hoping you can help me understand it a little better Webby.

Is it about having the financial and military power to dictate or "influence" or "bully" most other countries in the world into forming policies that you (the superpower) wish.

Is it more about having that control over how most things in the world are run and having the power to influence the world on such a large scale, this is the impression I get based on how America has used their power. Although I would use the word "bully" quite frequently imo to explain how they dish out absolute power in the world based on their incredible military budget and arsenal that they possess.

China at the moment is very progressive in many ways. They are concentrating on their economic potential and prob have more trading partners worldwide than any other country. They have trade development teams regularly visiting other countries and, apparently, these are generally successful.

Down side is there are still "human rights problems" and a cental command which is not exactly too keen to let go of the past - but that is changing and can see China playing more of a role internationally than any country ever has.

Sure.. as long as they keep on course and don't get side-tracked with bullshit and political games, they can be constructive and more positive than some "superpowers" we have seen. The "human trait" tendency once there is a "satisfaction" of sitting on your ass and claiming "power", is to then start abusing that. You prob can see already - the EU is on course to be some kind of "power", but rest assured - there will come a time the EU will then assume the abuse element. Same happened to the US as we can see currently.

On a very small scale and a typical example - China is positively trying to cover it's ass and be "responsible" as part of it's economic development. The Chinese govt is running around the world trying to buy up "oxygen resources". They offered us money on an annual basis to ensure we kept a rainforest intact to enable oxygen emmissions. Also got a friend who spent a long time with the Chinese govt where they were interested in preserving/conserving their natural resources and they were willing to spend money outside China to help towards this. So.. in a small way, yes, - this suggests "responsible".

In other ways, China is also a "giver". They have supplied/constructed everything from massive bridges to water filtration units in many countries - for free, but not exactly for free :) There is the obvious intent to create good relationships with these countries and possibly embark on a trading relationship.

Mmmm.. who knows, but, yes, - smell China *may* not fall into the US type trap and waste it's time on agression and conflict. If they stay on course - there is not much doubts they will be the largest economic "unit" in the world - together with a spilling over into other countries on the western Pacific rim.

Bottom line.. again.. who knows - but smell the main economic region of the world will end up in Asia in general.

PS After that prob may come Russia - they have more natural resources than any country - and plenty room for economic expansion.

Am I correct in thinking that one of the main goals of the EU is to become at the very least a rival to the dollar for the trading of oil ? I've always seen this as a major reason why so many changes have been made within the EU.

If I had money to invest, do you think Asia would be a stable long term investment ? Or the best place to invest money, I'm keen on living in Asia for at least 6 months a year. I'm 22 and single so luckly for me, nothing is tying me down

Quality posts as always Webby :thumbsup Thank you for taking the time to reply with such an informative post

Don't think there is any doubts that the EU is going to be a major factor in stable economic currency - that has already started happening. With that, comes loads more stuff - even for regions like Asia and the Middle East.

OPEC have this problem :) Sure, they want a stable currency to trade oil and the pressure for change is already underway. But, there are other factors and near the top of that list is undoubtedly the damage factor if they did change oil currencies and where prob most damage would hit the US (means the US economy would be converted to the status of Argentina within a year).

Nobody wants to cause that damage (including these "evil Arabs" :) ) - so they got to find a way, assuming the US dollar does not become more stable of gradually moving over to another more stable currency. Sure.. the Euro is an obvious potential currency - and one that has already been discussed.

Who knows, but think that will prob happen in the end.


Damned good place for investment Coatsy - especially if you want to live there. There were several places specifically mentioned in serveral economic reports for top investment return - one was Asia in general, another was in Latin America (specifically Costa Rica and Panama).

I'm in Costa Rica now and looking generally at a 50% return on investment annually (land holdings) - and no signs of any change on that.

There are some other folks on GFY based in Panama and rate their assessment as well - pretty much know how good it is and will prob end up with property there as well.

By targetting a few specific Asian countries and doing some research - I'd think you could hardly go wrong - but getting a return far higher than anything possible in the UK or most other "civilized countries" (and often tax free).

Coatsy:

BTW.. You are one of the lucky guys :winkwink:

Being a UK citizen you have total freedom to move/live wherever you like and are not "answerable" to the UK for loads of stuff - including domestic taxation.

Bottom line is - you can live or operate in a low or no tax area and just bank the money or profits from investments - and don't need to account to anyone :)

Wish I was still 22 and had this mobility/net option then lol

You know - i think the thread starter might have meant it as a joke...

50% ! Thats incredible ! :thumbsup Thats the thing about land as an investment, last time I checked they aint makin anymore of it :winkwink:

Great to know :)

I'm glad I wasn't born in "The land of the free" that have tax treaties with just about every country in the world :winkwink:

I consider myself very lucky, not just in respect to what you posted above but also because I'm from Northern Ireland I'm entitled to duel citizenship (Ireland & Britain) Who would have thought coming from an area of conflict could have had such benifits in the end :)

I think the law states that if i live outside the UK for 9 months or more each year then I'm not liable to pay income tax to the UK, please correct me if I'm wrong Webby. I'm sure you know the exact details :pimp

I'd love to get up and leave a.s.a.p but I'm trying to get onto the property ladder in Belfast this year. I still want to live in Belfast at least during the summer months, home is where the heart is :) Well.... Until you experience somewhere better !

Thanks for your time, your a legend :thumbsup
